That’s rare in the suburbs.” shy about making suggestions when a shopper seems to be having difficulty Robertson says his clients can always be sure they’re getting what they’re paying for, because he doesn’t employ junior technicians, and doesn’t “jump customers from stylist to stylist. That’s a very big feature. We find peo- ple are very comfortable with that.” The name “Bob-R-SHOP” is an obvious pun on Robertson’s moniker, and the result of his quirkily British sense of humor.

Robertson says technological advances in penning techniques allow for bigger, more open curls, which are “much more reflective of the spring clothing styles, which are softer, and more feminine. The curls are very ver- satile, and can be styled or left to dry naturally.” ‘ The Bob-R-SHOP can be reached at 338-6465.
